YORKSHIRE TEA

'Yorkshire Tea' is a black tea blend produced by Taylors of Harrogate, one of the few remaining family tea and coffee merchants in the United Kingdom.
The company was founded in 1886 by Yorkshire tea merchant Charles Taylor and has a reputation for producing high-quality teas. Blended from Indian, African, and Sri Lankan teas, it is available in four varieties:

★ original Yorkshire Tea,

★ Yorkshire Tea for Hard Water,

★ luxury blend Yorkshire Gold, and

★ Decaffeinated (currently only available in bags).

When Safeway was taken over by Yorkshire-based Morrisons in 2004, commentators in the London press noted the amount of shelf space in one former Safeway store that was suddenly given over to Yorkshire Tea.^[1]
The Yorkshire Tea brand is currently being extended to include a range of cakes, biscuits, and fruit loaves, sold as being complementary to drinking tea. Yorkshire Tea Biscuits are a "T"-shaped shortbread for dunking.
In 2007 Yorkshire Tea launched a new website on tea [1]. On this website are a number of things, inluding a shop which you can buy gifts such as mugs and aprons.
